Question 548522
(2,7) and perpendicular to a line with slope -3/2?

slope of perpendicular line will be 2/3 ( negative reciprocal)
point (2,7)

m=		  2/ 3					
							
Plug value of  the slope  and point (2,7) in
Y 	=	m	x 	+	b		
7.00	=	4/3	+	b			
b=	7	-	4/3				
b=	17/ 3						
So the equation  will be							
Y 	=	 2/3	x 	+	17/3	
17/3 is the intercept
